Even in the forest, Crystal dresses so chill and classy, she's so amazing and beautiful. You two are very natural and nice together. I enjoy watching your videos the most when you two are together.
Derek, can I just say that you have the best personality and are the most likable person on youtube. And you are easy on the eyes! Keep up the good work
You two are suuuuch a cute couple. I’m sure everyone tells you all the time. You both have beautiful smiles and beautiful laughs, and gorgeous auras. 🥰
I want you to know that you and Crystal make these minutes-into-hours over the past few years a special treat; the world at large leaves one so forlorn and questioning about what it's all about, but you make day to day life REAL. Concrete actions to take, how to eat, how to respect yourself and care about others, that yes, there ARE folks out there (like the two of you, and many more) so you are a fabulous counterbalance to the S#!T show of our modern media world, only with VAST benefits! Positivity, concrete, open-ended advice, and motivational content ALL the time. Way to go! You ought to be proud!!!
I love how Derek feels the slightest need to justify himself. Derek, you are an incredible influence and so dang consistent. Derek and Crystal are the best vegan influencers on the Internet. They are extremely honest, dedicated, motivated and completely humble. Love you guys ❤
When I first started working out. I stimply did calistehnics alone because I am poor, and also anxious, overweight, so felt out of place in a gym. If that is an easier option for people, its pretty good.
The sun behind y’all during the pull ups and backflip questions was SO GORGEOUS! We went to a park this weekend with our dogs and it was just so nice to be outside in nature like you always say!!!
You’ve been such a big inspiration to me, you’ve helped me eat so much better and cleaner leading to weight loss and keeping it off. Absolutely love watching your videos and recipe ideas. Thank you 😊
Your my favorite...... I fall off healthy eating often but when I need to recover I go right for your videos for my reboot!! You definitely inspire me!! I'm hoping one day it sticks lol
I love the question about starting to het fit at 40! I'm 42 and I LOVE being 42. I hope your 40s keep going great, too. Stay youthful by putting that time into your fitness and nutrition.
"For months, I felt exhausted no matter what I did-better sleep, exercise, nothing worked. Finally, I decided to test my vitamin levels, and it opened my eyes to what my body truly needed. It’s amazing how much a simple test can change your life. If you’re feeling drained, it’s worth
Love the backflip into the river and advice on how to do pull ups! Thank you, Derek! I would definitely be interested in seeing more Q&As. You helped me transition from vegetarian to vegan. Right at the start of Covid too. It was a great time to learn.
I absolutely love these videos! They are very informative, but comical as well! So much info, but lots of laughs too! Love you both! Greetings from Northern Minnesota💜
Great Video! Thanks for the information on workouts. I am just getting started and it really gives me a big confidence boost. Been vegan for about 16 months now and I have been watching your videos for most of that time, mainly for meal ideas. Please bring more sauces and keep bringing the nature!
You two spread so much positivity around, which is absolutely fantastic and enormously generous! I feel uplifted and happy every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you soooo much!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻. Crystal, the hat is super chic, you look like a Parisian in the Vancouver Island forest!!!!!💕💕💕💕💕. Remember our holidays to BC, including Vancouver Island, very fondly. I always thought that even if I never had another holiday, this was a holiday of a lifetime! So great I still can enjoy the scenery by watching your videos!😊😊😊😊😊💕💕💕💕💕
@@cypriano8763 I'd say shaving your head counts as "owning your baldness". My hair genetics are pretty good but I'm a buzz cut boi, people have asked me why I don't have a hairstyle 🤷♂
@@pdblouin same for me but i was going bald i would just keep it at 2 or 3 on the hair clipper and that would be good enough. Shaving.is a lot more work, imo
@@cypriano8763I refused to "own" my baldness. Instead, I kept on trying new things I heard about either on the Internet or from people I met. Eventually I found something that worked for me: gugo shampoo, and now I have a full head of hair.
My main exercise is Nordic walking, and I discovered that the key is NOT to focus on speed or duration/distance but rather on *consistency.* When I walk consistently, my speed and distance will gradually improve automatically because as I become fitter, I find it easier to go faster & longer. So I make walking a priority (*not* walking at some particular speed or for some particular duration or distance - just walking, daily). (Hidden in there is this primary rule: pick an activity that you *enjoy* so that, rather than pushing yourself to do it, you are drawn to doing it. Using Nordic walking poles makes walking much more enjoyable for me. YMMV)
You two are brilliant and keeping it so real. I love the walk and talk in nature. Finally - you're in the water!!!! Of course you can keep this up throughout the winter. I have full confidence in you 😉🥶
TH-cam popped you channel into my feed, if thats a thing. I live in Nanaimo, watched the plant based protein video, the little mountain video (going there tomorrow for a hike, thanks). Subscribed.
The quick solution to the PPO issue is two-fold, from what I have been reading online lately from recent research, is: 1) acidify, and 2) use an anti-oxidant like ascorbic acid, so i have been starting my smoothies lately with a dash of ascorbic acid crystals, and then adding a good amount of fresh lemon, lime or oramge juice to the blender jar with the liquid and banana, then blending smooth, before the berries and the other stuff... Try it!
Thank you for the video and the tips! I recently watched a few videos from different people ( I believe physicians) stating you really only need 600-800 mg of calcium a day and that more doesn’t show any improvement in fractures. Many doctors don’t tell people there’s so much more than calcium for bone health and no one ever talks about bone strength, just bone density. Keep lifting heavy if and when you can. ❤ Love Crystal’s laugh, it’s contagious.💕🥰
love these Q&A sessions!!! You both look amazing. Derek, in past years you've insisted that you're "not a body builder" but I think those days are done - you clearly have the BB bod going on.
Lovely video as always 💖 It's kind of crazy how much the health and fitness industry vacillates between the scientific ("what? No, these supplements do basically nothing") and borderline-superstitious (people separately telling me fenugreek will boost T or estrogen levels lol), any time we can have clear messaging like you've presented is fantastic. I found the easiest way to get people on board with any form of plant-based diet is to be supportive, and like you, show them how easy and delicious it is. I try to approach it from a place largely of joy and pragmatism. A fridge full of fresh and frozen veg from a quality supermarket, green grocer, or farmer's market can be unbelievably cheap!
Most likeable people on TH-cam. And we don't want to like them because they're fitter, more articulate, and more interesting than us...but here we are! Loved the Q&As...and any video when they're walking in the wilderness of the pacific nw has great vibes tbh!
Love your videos and tips on being vegan, plus all the positivity. I'd like a video talking more about the struggles and tough times you've been through if you're okay with sharing. I think that would help some viewers like myself relate better.
You two are amazing. Spreading veganism and love for animals via your videos. Well done e and thank you so much for what you do. I’m vegan too forever for the animals
I dont know what it is about you guys but you are so easy to watch, informative and i dont find anything that you say or do cringe or fake Love crystal too ❤
When you were talking about the berry and banana smoothies and the cost of berries I remembered that you guys are gardening (from another video), so why not plant some berry bushes? Things like haskap, aronia, etc? :) I planted a few different bushes and really like having my own fresh berries, and the excess can be frozen for later. You can also grow rares types. For example, Tayberry is especially delicious and looks like a giant raspberry. :)
The "in nature" location is really nice. Still missing the bink bink bink bonk though ;-) I love how you guys are such an awesome team. Looking forward to more of these, and the savoury snacks episode soon - crackers, kale chips - bring on the savouries!
Love your channel, even though I'm not vegan. I really want to move to VI.. every time I visit I feel complete there. This video has be aching for another visit.
Do you know if Vedge is going to ship anytime soon to France? Btw I’m binge listening you and Crystal like a podcast :) You are so positive, you could talk about anything and I’d listen. I am always in a better mood after. Thank you 🥰
The fact people think you're not natural is crazy, shows the damage all the social media body builders have done. I really appreciate your content, you're definitely helping me get much healthier!
So I have a Q! Do you think getting a trainer after some injuries might be helpful to relearn better movement patterns and take things at the right speed to regain strength?
It would be great if you came to Massachusetts. They have a Veg fest in Boston October and in May Worcester Massachusetts has a Veg Fest. The Worcester Veg Fest is the best one.
Ask me Monday!! (Except not on Monday 😂) I definitely miss those videos and the song!! 🍌 I love all your videos and really enjoy when Crystal is a part of them too. You two are my favourite couple on TH-cam!! 💕
Good idea. Usually, it comes down to eating less and losing excess weight. Lower glycemic foods with more fiber may help in the meantime, though. Beans instead of bread, etc. Less dietary fat and more fibre should help stay full on less food calories
This is excellent! You have just created multiple tik tok ads for your company! You need that to drive traffic. A fun informative video with great scenery!
My son and I love your channel! He is 15 years old and loves working out. He really wants to take creatine but I'm concerned that it isn't safe for a growing teen. Do you know if there have been any studies done on this? Also in your opinion, do you think it would be safe? Thank you!
It should be safe for teens. Our bodies produce creatine naturally some amounts. Recommended amounts are usually 3-5 grams per day. However, it's best to see if any common adverse affects occur, they might be a reason to discontinue use. And I've heard some people might be "non-responders" meaning they might not experience benefits from use. Just a couple of things to consider 😊
Im not on IG so I couldn’t participate in the questions but hopefully you’ll see this and answer it? :) What would you recommend nutritionally for someone trying to lose weight with a plant based diet? What should I focus on? Thanks! Also, you’re 40?! I would have never guessed! You look amazing!

You’re so lucky to have that beautiful walk in your backyard!!!
Great Q and A, funny as always and informative ❤
13:23 this is the highlight of the video 🤣 "My macro split? 100% protein" - this is so precious, was laughing with my eyes tearing up 😆🤣😂
Always love your candor, Derek. Seriously, one of my favourite creators! And we live in the same province.... lol, so small world.
Watching your video instantly made me feel happier! Thank you both for all your useful tips and for sharing your lovely energy with us. ❤
When I first started working out. I stimply did calistehnics alone because I am poor, and also anxious, overweight, so felt out of place in a gym. If that is an easier option for people, its pretty good.
Love the coastal rainforest vibes. Great video
It's so gorgeous. Thanks for watching!
i love you answering questions outside on the natrue trails!

Yayyyyy Q&A in the forest!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Loved this Q&A. Have been make lots from your videos, especially the dressings, enjoy cooking now without oil too.
I was losing my hair, and I needed to shave off my hair, I'm alright with that. I don't need to spend money on special haircuts
i honestly dont get why guys shave their heads. just own your baldness, cut your hair short like men used to do.

Lol!! I had no idea what “natty” meant, so I had to watch the video😂 As always, great content! Love the info:)

Not only do you guys give great info, you just seem like really nice people. ❤ Great job, you two!
